CINCINNATI — ESPN's Dan Orlovsky revealed his top-10 quarterbacks in a variety of traits this week and Joe Burrow checked in near the top of a few categories:

Ball Placement: First

Mechanics: First

Decision-Making With The Football: Third

Pocket Presence: Second

Rushing Ability: Outside the Top 10

Second-Reaction Ability: Outside the Top 10

Arm Strength: Outside the Top 10

"Burrow is the best in the game here, but Tagovailoa is really close," Orlovsky wrote about Burrow's ball placement. "I think Burrow stands out in true ball placement, while Tagovailoa might be the most accurate passer in the league. Both quarterbacks rank in the top five in completion percentage since their 2020 draft year -- Burrow is third (67.8%), while Tua is fifth (67.4%)."

Cincinnati has an elite NFL passer as they try to keep him healthy for a full season behind the best offensive line of his career.
